Evil Dead Burn Cast Reveal What It’s Really Like To Star In A Movie This Gruesome [Exclusive]

All of the characters in the film get hurt, but Hunter, you, for me at least, sell pain really well.

Souheila Yacoub: Yes, his looks.

What was your trick to keep that intensity on set all the time?

Hunter Doohan: I think that was the trick of this movie for everybody, was [to] keep on raising the stakes. There was only a few times when Sébastien, he said he wanted to let the pressure off only occasionally. But other than that, it was like, just how do you come in and keep raising the stakes? But I don’t know, the pain … we had really good practical props and stuff to work off of, and then it’s just a fun imagination. Like, “Oh, what would it feel like to fall on knives?” [laughs]

Luciane Buchanan: Yeah. It was so good. It’s so realistic as well. You would just go there in a second. And he did a lot of his stunts. Your stunt doubles did a good amount …[All laugh]

Souheila Yacoub: A lot! I mean, come on.

Luciane Buchanan: But you were so game for everything, like you falling back into the kitchen. I was like, “Oh my God, that was really believable.” So yeah, it was awesome to watch.

Well you, Luciane, are having so much fun, it looks like. Did you get to improvise at all verbally or physically when you were shooting?

Luciane Buchanan: Yeah, there was lots of little moments. To be specific, [the script] would just be, you know, “picks up the candle and she drinks it,” so you have to find a way to make my way over to the table. And how does she walk? Licking his face, little moments like that.

Hunter Doohan: Yeah, she came up with that all on her own.

Luciane Buchanan: Yeah. And how I tease Polly, how does that look? Yeah, all these little things. It just says “grab her dentures,” so we’re like, “How gross can we make this?”

Hunter Doohan: Your physicality throughout the whole thing was just so specific and great.

Souheila Yacoub: I love it. So cool.

“Evil Dead Burn” arrives in theaters on July 10, 2026.
